Is anyone here actually familiar with the science? If so, I would LOVE to hear more about it. A cursory look through links provided in other threads, it seems like the recommendation is based on the following facts: teenage sleep patterns shift to an avg of 11pm, and teenagers need at 8-10 hrs of sleep. Hence, 830am start. But that seems too simplistic to actually be how that conclusion was reached.
As others have said, my instinct is that if you gave high school me a later start time I would have simply stayed up later. My bedtime was almost never dictated by sleepiness, but rather things like homework, hanging out on AIM with friends, video games, etc.
Surely this is something that has been studied already. Is there a correlation between school start time and student bed times? Or a statistically significant difference in teenage bedtimes between standard and daylight savings time?
